Hi all,
Hope some1 can throw some light on this for me, my 2001 clio 172's throttle is sticking at about 2000 revs, when i accelerate or rev the car it stays at this rev count unless i rev it quickly and release then it drops back down to normal, any 1 got any idea what the problem is here...

Hi another random question for you mechanics out thetre lol!

i had a brandspanking astra vxr nurburgring which would do it every now and again like everyone has says just drive around for a while maybe throw it round some corners lmao it will soon be back to normal!?!?
i just paid a garage £245 for cam belt change and timing setup and all that although i did have the engine pretty much out of the car lmao
but there are certainly garages out there which are fair reliable and good in price its just finding them but you will know when you find one near you!
there was a thread on this somewhere, a member on here used two old sockets out of a socket set and wedged them in the bottom corners cable tied it and hey presto perfect!

a vehicle from a garage would have to be in a road worthy condition as they have insurance and all that to work along side, how ever you should always check your vehicle over thouroghly befor you leave the forecourt!!
can be points and a hefty fine for every tyre which isnt in a road worthy condition, traffic cops the worse they would rip any one apart with worn tyres mate
